Hi!

Does anybody know, if it´s possible to repair this car without changing parts from the chassis? I have a crashed Legacy and I want to rebuild the burned car. The paint from the hood ist 10x5cm burned and under the car ist no mark from the fire. The Aluminium from the engine did not melt. I´m only a litte bit afraid to fix it and drive on the road, because I don´t know if the coil´s tops and the firewall to the passenger room got too much temperature to be safe for an accident or to hold out the power of driving. Some of my friends say so and some say so. I hope some of you have got the experience or knowledge to tell me if I can fix it without input from new chassis-parts. THX for helping and best regards from Germany!

Here are the pictures.

Cheers Flo

It dosnt look to bad under there at all a lot still intact so there will be no worries as far as terminal damage to bulkhead etc. :thumb:

yeah should be ok,Look an emb's widearched project that was fire damaged a lot worse than yours.

Thanks a lot guys.

The fire began from the Katalysator. In this area is the coulor burned. You don´t have frightness because of the durability from the metall in future? I think I begin to fix it in the comming week! I will update this thread with picture´s from the rebuild.

Have a nice week!

Looking at the 'relative' lack of damage to the wiring in the area of the bulkhead I'd say it would be fine :thumb:


I'm just guessing here, but English isn't your first language is it ;)

:-) I´m from Germany and in school you don´t learn that kind of "special" words.

So it´s not easy for me to write a text about a car that burned.

Sorry for my English.

No offence intended Flo :D

Besides, your English is a lot better than my German :lol1:
